NBU forecasts the key policy rate reduction in the second quarter of 2022.

One of the main drivers of such inflation dynamics is the sustained high price level in the global commodity markets. Inflation in Ukraine’s MTPs also remains high, although in August there were signs of a slowdown. Raising the key policy rate to 8.5% in 2021 and rolling back the emergency monetary measures will be sufficient to ease inflationary pressures and return inflation to 5% in 2022 announced the NBU Monetary Policy Committee.
